Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the negative reciprocal of each other. (Basically flip the sign +/- and the fraction(switch the numerator and the denominator))
For example:
Slope = 2 or 
Perpendicular line's slope = 
(flip the sign from + to -, and flip the fraction)
Slope = 
Perpendicular line's slope = 
(flip the sign from - to +, and flip the fraction)
y = 1/3x + 4 The slope is 1/3, so the perpendicular line's slope is 
or -3.
Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b
y = -3x + b To find b, plug in the point (1, 2) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself
2= -3(1) + b Add 3 on both sides to get "b" by itself
2 + 3 = -3 + 3 + b
5 = b
y = -3x + 5
Two equilateral triangles, but one has sides measuring 3 cm, while the other measures 6 cm. The figures are similar, but not congruent
Answer:
1 ¹/₉ hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say L is Larry's speed, C is Curly's speed, and M is Moe's speed.
1 = 2 (L + C)
1 = 1 ⅔ (C + M)
1 = 1 (L + C + M)
Solve the system of equations. First, simplify the equations:
1 = 2L + 2C
3 = 5C + 5M
1 = L + C + M
Double the third equation and subtract the first equation from it:
2 = 2L + 2C + 2M
1 = 2L + 2C
1 = 2M
M = 1/2
Plugging into the second and third equations, we get:
C = 1/10
L = 2/5
Therefore, the time it takes Larry and Moe together is:
1 = t (L + M)
t = 1 / (L + M)
t = 1 / (2/5 + 1/2)
t = 1 / (4/10 + 5/10)
t = 1 / (9/10)
t = 10/9
t = 1 ¹/₉ hours
It takes them 1 ¹/₉ hours, or 1 hour 6 minutes 40 seconds.
Assuming you get paid every week.
Total num of weeks in a year = 52
Therefore weekly salary = 42,700/52 = 821.15
Salary of first 6 weeks = 821.15 * 6 = 4926.92
20% of first 6 weeks salary = 0.2 * 4926.92 =985.38
You must pay the ACME $985.38
